by Mary Coleridge (1861 - 1907)
Whether I live, or whether I die
Language: English
Whether I live, or whether I die, Whatever the worlds I see, I shall come to you by-and-by, And you will come to me. Whoever was foolish, we were wise, We crossed the boundary line, I saw my soul look out of your eyes, You saw your soul in mine.
